it may be phoenix worms that they are going to start carrying. if so they are an excellent food source and can definitely take the place of crickets. two thumbs up for the phoenix worm! :)

Yep I hope they are or I may have to find a supplier for them. After you mentioned them I went googling and look what I found.

I'm baaaackk!! And have two new cresties - one is mine, one is Karls - pictures later.


The new worms that will be introduced by Timberline are going to be called Calciworms and are supposed to be loaded with calcium - they say they are so loaded with it, you don't have to supplement them with vitamins.

We did pick up two containers of Phoenix worms while there and got two free "Cricket Lunchboxes" from Timberline with 24 crickets each in them.

The boys are settling in right now (both are tail-less boys). The breeder said they should get along fine since we don't have any girls for them to fight over. They seemed to get along fine in the small rubbermaid we had in Daytona for them.

Awesome pictures of Sprocket! He's adorable!

Wonder what type of worms they are though..silk...mealies...phoenix. Oh well I'll have to wait and contact my local PetCo about them coming in (the two reptile specialists there are getting used to oddball me lol). Thanks for the heads up on a new product Robin and can't wait to see pics of the cresties.

Be careful, as too much calicium is detrimental to cresties. (at least that's what my feeble brain is telling me).
